Backyard camping: night 4

1/10/2014

4 Comments

 

What I've learned so far:

  • Everyone needs their own sleeping bag. Sharing is not an option.
  • My neighborhood is obscenely noisy at night (a car chase one night, power tools tonight)
  • It's also incredibly bright (really, do you all need to leave your back lights on?)
  • The pStyle is the best invention for peeing at night (more on that another time)
  • If Little Brother doesn't fall asleep within 10 minutes, ask him if he needs to poop. Most likely, he does. Don't wait for for an hour wondering why the tent magic doesn't work anymore.
  • Take the nicest air mattress for yourself. Kids are little and don't need extra padding.
  • Dont give up after a rough night! Figure out a way to make it better next time.
  • Let the kids decide if they want to continue and honor their choice (unless it's below freezing, I draw the line there).
  • I think we're going to be able to make this family camping thing happen!

I suppose the disadvantage is you have to go to bed earlier than you would have liked.

I actually really liked being "forced" to go to bed early :) I'm not much of a night owl.

We have been railing at people's ridiculous habit/preference of leaving their back floodlights on for years now. I don't get it. Why must the whole of your property be bathed in light 24/7?

Exactly! I actually think that it would be worse having someone be able to see everything that's in your backyard and how to get around instead of leaving it all in the dark. Not to mention how much waste and light pollution it is! Geez!
